Google street maps took my dh into a...

clothes shop??? How is that possible? He was on the road and ended up in the little local clothes shop... The clothes looked hiddeous!! but how odd!!

I don't understand. I'm frightened.

Do you mean using street view? I think companies can now pay to put pictures of inside their buildings on google street view as a form of advertising. Also some museums and attractions etc.

Tether

I think I know what you mean, so your DH was on street maps and instead of the car driving down the street to the next section, it went to the inside of a shop?

Maybe the car had a crash, and they didn't edit it out?

This is it, I think - 'business view'.

Yes, he was on the street on street view and it took him into a shop. Thanks for the explanation. I've never heard of business view. That makes sense. He could look around all the stuff in the shop. It was a village shop in the lakes. So weird!

I thought you meant that rather than walking own the street on google street view his photo had been transplanted into the shop and you could see his face looking out the window.

That would have been spooky Bizarrely we were looking at our holiday snaps and a man in an overcoat and handbag was in two of them. It would have really spooked me if I had found him in others. It didn't help that he looked creepy!

If you can get onto Earl's Court road on streetview, there is a police box which is very interesting...

(It should take you inside if you click on the double arrow outside)

I am on my mobile and tried but couldn't get in. It is so strange you can do that! Why would anyone want to see inside a police box???

I can't get in it either. Think I read about it before. Isn't it the Tardis inside?

:(

Sorry - I was on my way out and didn't have time to try it out. Yes, the tardis is/was inside. I think last time I checked it , I was using the old version of g-maps. Don't like the new one
